Jonathan Jackson + Enation Announce Return with Anthems for The Apocalypse

Jonathan Jackson + Enation will release their fourth studio album Anthems For The Apocalypse, co-produced by Greg Archilla (Matchbox 20, Collective Soul), on July 14, 2017 on their own label, Hilasterion Records (distributed through Sony). And beginning today at 4:30pm PST / 7:30pm EST, a limited number of copies of the album will be available on Amazon for pre-order for just $4.00 to celebrate Amazon Prime Day. The band will spend their album release day by doing two instore signings in Nashville, one at the Country Music Hall Of Fame at 2:00pm and the other at Barnes & Noble Cool Springs in Brentwood at 6:30pm.

Jonathan Jackson + Enation have developed a reputation as one of the most creative and dynamic independent bands in the music industry today. Originally from the Northwest, they now call Nashville, TN home - and for good reason, Jonathan Jackson currently stars as "Avery Barkley" in the primetime drama Nashville, now in its fifth season, which airs Thursdays on CMT and is a five-time Daytime EMMY® Award-winning actor for his role in General Hospital. He is also known for his roles in many other projects, including Deep End of the Ocean, Tuck Everlasting, Insomnia. Following Jonathan's solo dates with the cast of Nashville summer tour, Jonathan Jackson + Enation will also return to the road this summer playing select dates beginning August 11, 2017 in Huntsville, AL (see all tour dates below).

Their music video for "Revolution Of The Heart" recently premiered on CMT - Watch it HERE and was added to MTV Hits. "It's the most anti-political, political song I've ever written," says Jonathan Jackson about "Revolution Of The Heart." There certainly are good revolutions throughout history but many ended up being terrible and destructive, even when there were good intentions involved. Our world is more divided than ever it seems and the political climate is driving deeper wedges in society. Ultimately, politics can only offer some of the answers we're looking for. The deeper longing that I'm "marching for" personally is a revolution of the heart. It's an inner revolution. We need to first love each other and remember our common humanity. Then we can approach politics and work towards important solutions."

The band also recently performed in front of over 300,000 at the 101st Indianapolis 500 pre-race festivities, performing on a specially designed rolling stage on the 2.5 mile race track. The stage stopped in Turns 1, 2 and 4 for performances from the group.

In 2014, Jonathan Jackson + Enation released Radio Cinematic, garnering them numerous radio and TV appearances including live performances on ABC's The View and VH1's Big Morning Buzz Live. The single "Everything Is Possible" climbed the Hot AC charts to #43 and helped propel the band's Radio Cinematic US Summer Tour, by playing to sold out audiences and earning high praises from critics and fans. Radio Cinematic is an album that Rolling Stone said is "Filled with electric guitars, chest-beating vocals and swirling synths..." while Billboard Magazine calls it "...contemporary, anthemic rock -- Jackson proudly wears the influence of U2, Peter Gabriel and Coldplay on his sleeve as influences -- is certainly something different..." Their 2016 Blame-Shifter EP debuted at #22 on the Billboard Heatseekers chart while their Live DVD, Jonathan Jackson + Enation: Live from Nashville debuted at #9 on the Billboard Music Video chart.
